Got mine today.  WOW.  Now I just have to figure out what those index clips are for.

I'D LIKE WHOEVER INSTALLED THIS GEISSELE SSA TRIGGER AT LARUE TO GIVE ME A LESSON.

IT IS PERFECT.

Give you a lesson in what?  Installing the Geissele SSA?

 

CORRECT.

Pics!

I don't spend money on Photo Equipment, and you can tell.

NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO SEE IRON SIGHTS SAVES ME BOTH WEIGHT AND MONEY. HERE'S HOW I SET MINE UP, VERY QUICKLY:







THE SCOPE IS FROM ANOTHER RIFLE, AND THE RINGS SEEM TO BE A TAD HIGH (1.265") FOR THIS APPLICATION FOR AN OPTIMUM CHEEK WELD. THEY WILL DO FOR NOW.

Glad you said it.  That's exactly what I was thinking.  

 

Oh the agony,  I picked the OBR up from my FFL tonight, and there it sits in the corner just crying to be shot.  But I F'ed up and ordered the wrong Troy BUIS'. I got the standard, not the Micro, so I'm without sights for it.  Additionally, I need to replace my Comp2 mount with a LT 152 before shooting her.  Both the Troy Micros and LT 152 are on their way from Leander, but the wait is gonna kill me.  To add insult to injury, I have a carbine course Saturday, not to sure I'll have the OBR ready to go by then...   OK, things could be worse, but not much.

The standard Troys work too...In fact, I just put the Micro's on for the first time tonight...still haven't shot it that way.
Thing is, I'm not a cheekweld guy when it comes to red dots (don't hold a fork and a knife the same way either). The LT104 height works perfectly for me with a magnified scope.

I'm working on a graphical chart that'll show what works well with what.

what works with red dots, irons and cross hairs could all be different...  I don't need a good check weld when shooting an RD, just a consistent starting point when zeroing it, irons and cross hairs need to be fairly close, particularly at distance... and if I want to can the riser on the OBR, lower is  better, and may need to offset the BUIS as a compromise... not sure where things play out on the OBR556 yet (only ordered last week), so we shall see...

WES,  since you're willin' to go bare on iron sights,  I bet 1" tall rings would be just the ticket from what I see ya got there.  Maybe even our lower two-piece rings.

ML

AGREED. THIS IS A TAD TOO HIGH.

WHAT IS THE CENTERLINE HEIGHT ON THE LT719 RINGS? WE HAVE THEM IN INVENTORY.

Thx for the response Mark.  I just put a standard set of Troy BUIS on and they do work, but just feels a bit high to me as I am a cheek weld shooter.   I didn't put the Comp2 on yet, but it'll probably feel just like the BUIS'.  I hope to get my micros  & LT 152 from you guys today, if so, I'll put them on & see how they work for me.  If I get them today, I'll have the time to post pics later tonight, but of course they'll not be the Fine Art type pics that you do...

I got the call that my OBR 556 is at the dealer today.  Bad thing is I can't pick it up until next weekend.....weather here in NC prevented us from finishing up on the range until tonight.  

Damn nice setup you've got there....

Hey Mark, when am I going to be able to order an OBR light in 6.8spc?  I would love a 6.8spc that is as well built as my OBR.

Thanks, I had a little help from some nice folks in Texas.

Email received yesterday ....

Today,   my Birthday , July 30th, my always very happy UPS guy shows up looking like this....
The box says.......

This always signals fun inside.

and this....


Not as fragile as you think, but it keeps the UPS gorillas from throwing it around too much.

This is what made the UPS guy smile..


It seems that the bumper stickers that I gave him when my OBR arrived , made quite an impression on the UPS driver's 16 year old son.
He now wants to be a USMC sniper.  Lookout Corps!

Inside...., Hey,where's the gun .....


There it is....


Oh yeah...


PSSSSTTT.... flip this switch to shoot a quieter if you have a can on.




I was sold on this gun after seeing and holding it at the SHOT show.
I promised myself I would order one as soon as they were offered.
The 16" has great balance for this package.
The 12" SBR version is probably the best feeling and most balanced M-16 type gun I have ever picked up. And that is really saying something coming from me.   It's really special.  Hopefully I'll be able to order one in a couple months.

I recently saw a youtube clip where mfingar did a magdump and measured the temperature of the handguard at 98 degrees F.
Well, mine arrived today feeling like a warm cup of coffee at exactly 98-99 degrees F.  And that's what the temp was on the front of the shop!

I have some good karma going with these LT OBR's....my Optimized Sniper Rifle (OBR) 7.62 arrived on San Jacinto Day and the OBR lite arrived on my birthday !   Now what glass do I want to put on it ?????

I did a mad dash to my FFL today to pick up my OBR 556.  Got there about 10 minutes before close, show my stuff and fill out the paperwork, the guy started the VA SP check, it got put on hold till tomorrow because it was 1800.  Holy crap was I disappointed, I had to leave without the OBR and a Ruger Single Six I was picking up.  Talk about frustrated......I have to go back tomorrow morning to get it.  I did get in a better mood when I got home as I got the OBR 7.62 out of the safe....

How about pics of the groups you guys are shooting ?
We all know the OBR is a fine looking rifle. Let's see what really counts.
100 yards at least 5 rounds.
I already have a Stealth. I need to see OBR's shooting some tiny groups before I lay down money to upgrade,

I picked up my OBR 7.62 two days ago.  I was so impressed, I called and ordered the 5.56 while they were doing my paperwork.  My question is why are the troy micro BUIS the ones to have?  Aren't they made for guns with higher rails like the sig556?  

Well, my gun clearly shoots better than me, but atleast it gives me a goal to aim for.

The OBR 5.56 has a higher rail than the normal AR.  I got the Micros on my OBR 5.56 and they work fine.

FYI for OBR lite owners... Magpul BAD lever. Makes your life easier...just sayin
